Asteroid 1283, Komsomolia, was discovered on September 25, 1925 by Vladimir A. Albitskij at Simeis, Ukraine and independently about two weeks later on October 10 by Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg, Germany. Reinmuth and Albitskij share the credit for the discovery of Komsomolia, which was named for KOMSOMOL, the Soviets' communist youth league which still survives today in some of the countries of the former Soviet Union.
Komsomolia is about 20 miles in diameter and has a period of 5 years, 251 days.
Astrologically, Komsomolia seems to relate to social mechanisms by which others attempt to instill values.
Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, had Komsomolia conjunct Jupiter (philosophy) and Moe (more), trine Pandora (having an impact, unintended consequences), and opposite 1992 QB1 (powerful ideology).
Former senator Jesse Helms has attempted to defend the Boy Scouts of America's official homophobia and discrimination against gays and atheists with a law barring federal funding for schools that refuse to provide meeting places and other support to the BSA. Helms has Komsomolia sextile Pluto (callousness, coercive power) and Hektor (bullying), quincunx Nessus (need to purge emotional toxins, predatory) and Chiron (self-wounding, need for healing), and opposite Hylonome (victims).
Juliette Low, founder of the Girl Scouts of America, had Komsomolia sextile Venus (socialization, girls), sextile/trine the Nodes, square Jupiter, trine Neptune (idealism) and Lilith (feminism), and sesquiquadrate Pallas.
St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle, founder of the Catholic order of teaching monks known as the Christian Brothers, had Komsomolia sextile Askalaphus (publicity), square Chariklo (conditional nurturance, popularization) and Damocles (drastic change), and quincunx Pholus (insinuating something in) and Uranus (reform). He was largely responsible for reorienting education in Europe and the Americas onto a classroom rather than a tutoring model.
Psychiatrist Kurt Hahn, who wrote a famous poem favored by teenagers in the Seventies which begins "I am me, and you are you," had Komsomolia sextile Venus, square Uranus, and quincunx Actor.
Ted Nugent, who has set up summer camps designed to inculcate children with his right-wing pro-gun philosophy, has Komsomolia biundecimal Mars (firearms), quintile Jupiter and Pallas (politics), trine 1994 TA (pollution), quincunx Boucolion (a lack of sophistication), and opposite 1999 XX143 (antisocial behavior).
Special-ed educator and writer Torey Hayden has Komsomolia conjunct the South Node (the path of least resistance), undecimal Mercury (writing), sextile Don Quixote (taking on the system), trine Antenor (antisocial characters) and Thersander (rehabilitative efforts), and quincunx 2002 VQ94 (to deconstruct and reconstitute).
Rush Limbaugh has Komsomolia nonile Pluto (underhanded, mass movements), square Chiron (instruction) and biquintile Mars (anger).
David W. Oakley, a Manitowoc, Wisconsin deadbeat dad who was controversially ordered by a judge not to have any more children until he could provide for the nine he had already fathered by four different women, has Komsomolia conjunct Astyanax (sacrifices seen as necessary or possibly misguided), sextile Pallas (politics, things seen as necessary for the defense of the state) and opposite 1999 OX3 (to cut off, practical knowledge).
